About
Amanda Levido’s research sits at the intersection of educational equity, STEM engagement, and primary school pedagogy, with a particular focus on empowering students from low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds. Her most-cited work, “Low SES primary school students engaging in an after-school robotics program” (2013), examines how informal, hands-on learning environments can bridge the opportunity gap for disadvantaged learners. By documenting the experiences of students in an after-school robotics program, Levido demonstrates how such initiatives foster not only technical skills but also confidence, collaboration, and a sense of belonging—challenging deficit-based narratives about low SES students. Though her citation count is modest, her work has gained relevance amid growing global attention to equity in STEM education. Levido’s contributions are notable for their practical focus: she provides evidence that targeted, out-of-school interventions can meaningfully support students who are often left behind in traditional classroom settings. Her research offers a compelling model for educators and policymakers seeking to close achievement gaps through inclusive, community-based programs.
